  • Newest one that I am suprised at- My life would suck with out you- Kelly Clarkson.. fantastic beat :) That and Rude Dude by T Pain is my favorite running song ever
  • I am revisiting this post again and it's so cool to hear what everyone wants to do... It's been such a crappy week, but tomorrow is another day, yes? :smile: Megs
  • HI! I am an August 20, 2010 bride myself and have found the dress.... When I started a month ago I was at 235 Goals- By April 200lbs By August (measurements for dress) Size 14 again (first time since h.s.) Whatever that weight ends up being.... I need to get some smaller goals in there too I know, but it just seems so HUGE…
  • Try using a regular household item... for instance a gallon of skim milk should weigh about 8.5 pounds.
  • Welcome welcome! I have found this to be a great community and can be really helpful and motivating. Good luck on your goals! You can do this!:flowerforyou:
  • Okay... I'm tired and trying to make this sound like it makes sense so please excuse me if it sounds incoherant.... I think if when you input your weight on here all you would need to do is add that 3.8 lbs that your new scale is missing to your weight. Example: New scale reads 123.3 pounds that week, just add 3.8 and…
  • You know what I say?? WAY TO GO LADY! It is a huge step in this whole process to examine our bad habits, though it most of the time really sucks to do so. Keep the wonderful thoughts of your mom and you with you and I know you will have more success than buckets of tears! You are wonderful, now it's time to start feeling…
  • Low Cal pasta- Anything with 5 grams of fiber or more is worth your time in that department. I am a huge fan of Trader Joe's organic whole wheat pasta. Pasta Sauce- There are a TON of great recipies to make yourself so then there is no added chemicals or sugars either. Fresh is the way to go in my book. Dressing- the salad…
  • Here's the advice I got when I got here that I loved... 1. before you eat input what you are about to eat so you know the calories, etc. that you will be eating 2. Find something else to do other than eat. (play with the kiddies, knit, run around the house) 3. Figure out what your triggers are for eating and avoid avoid…
  • I'm with Runningwithsteph. Check the old scale and the new scale. Odds are good, your new scale is the more accurate of the two. They can wear out, then HEY freebie pounds :)
  • I am in the same boat!!!! Things I do to help me out.... I take my meds the same time every day whether or not I have to be up for work. Of course this means climbing out of bed on the weekends, but it's always nice to beable to climb back in and go back to sleep. Also, I don't know if this is completely accurate but, My…

  • you know what ladies... thank you for this post! I need some things to look forward too. :)
  • As everyone has said... BMI is useless... according to that chart, my personal trainer, the twig of solid muscle he is, is borderline overweight. The only way to get an actual true exact measurement of BMI is to use a water tank with a specialist and some funky measuring equipment. I'm sorry but I don't believe that one…
  • Thanks all I really appreciate it :)
  • Congrats!! That is awesome, keep it up!! :drinker:
  • My roommate swears by drinking it even when you're not sick! Her chiropracter told her that it helps even out the minerals in your body as well as flush toxins. It doesn't hurt to try it and if you find you can taste it, she usually dilutes it in a glass of water! Feel better soon!!!
  • Your body does need recoup days, especially if it is not used to working out on a daily basis. It's better for your muscles to take the time and heal and rebuild. However, if you are going to feel guilty about popcorn and chocolate last night, then it's not worth the guilt at all for a day off! Either way, you should at…
  • Your progress is so great so far!! Granted I have no room to talk as I caved yesterday, but if you know it's a trigger food stay away!! :) Keep up the excellent work instead :)
